Synopsis

SideQuests are stand-alone stories or novellas that chronicle the heroes, villains, and adventures in The Foreworld Saga across numerous eras and ages. They can be read in any order with or without prior knowledge of The Foreworld Saga.When a merchant appears at the Catalonian chapter house of the Shield-Brethren, seeking to hire guards for his caravan, young Andreas is suspicious. Knights with his martial prowess are above protecting mere cargo wagons. Yet Andreas’s wanderlust outweighs his concern, and soon the group is headed to the merchant’s mountain village—and into great danger.As the caravan approaches, a woman suffering from terrifying visions feverishly paints her latest revelation—in her own blood. The image horrifies her fellow villagers, who fear an imminent attack, or worse, the return of the brutal Inquisition. But when Andreas deciphers the painting’s true meaning, it may forever impact his wandering ways, his unspoken fears, and his very future with the Shield-Brethren.Following Sinner and Dreamer, this Foreworld SideQuest reveals the painful truth that sometimes seeing what is to come is far worse than not knowing.

Goodreads review by Durval on January 06, 2025

It came included at the beginning (at least in my edition) of "Mongoliad: Book 3". Good atmosphere, good story telling, not excellent but good enough as part of this saga. Let's see how (and if) it dovetails with the rest of the tale. Rating is 3.5/5, rounded up to 4.......more

Nice short story from the Foreworld saga. This one features Andreas who is one of my favorite characters and author Mark Teppo who is clearly one of the best of the Mongoliad bunch.......more

Goodreads review by Kieran on December 27, 2022

When the Shield Brethren are ordered to protect a merchant, it seems to be beneath their abilities, so what secret is the merchant hiding? Teppo's prequel to 'The Mongoliad' establishes the characters and leaves scope for further development.......more

Goodreads review by Sal on April 06, 2013

A quick, satisfying read. Very much the tonal flavor of the The Foreworld Saga from which it is spawned. It probably doesn't add much the the "why" of Andreas, in terms of revelations, but it does help build the character. Written with a competent hand, consistent and sensical language choices...nice......more
